Notes:
The results in the chart are based on the following assumption:
1. Initial contamination level is 500,000 particles greater than
10 micrometers per 100 ml of fluid (10MF cart).
2. Inlet filter fitted with 40SA element. outlet with 10C element.
3. System ingression rate equal to 1 X 10

Notes: Multipass test run @ 40 gpm to 25 psid.
ANSl/NFPA T3.10/8.8 R1-1990 w/50 ppm anti-static additive
*Not Applicable.
1. Not multipass tested- Number shown Is actual
pore size in inches.
2. Not multipass tested.
Notes: 1. Par-Gel elements are designed to remove “free water”,
which is defined as water that is above a particular fluid’s
saturation level.
2. Capacity is very dependent on flow rate and viscosity. Not
recommended with fluids in excessof 500 SUS.
